"These ramblings are the trapped angry dog in my neighbors back yard, even if it got out, wouldn't know the first thing to do with itself. People come in and out of JAG for durations unknown, the only face that has been through it all is the student . We are all part of the same compost heap. As much as possible I participate imagining myself running away from my own racing, noisy mind. I do miss coaching the soccer team great parents, coaches, and players. Utilizing our resources the suggestion box It brings me peace, if only for the small time I get to do it. People still have trouble knowing what makes them happy and content. Elementary school- This 'journey' is wonderful, difficult. We are not reinventing the wheel . Everything's a copy of a copy of a copy. The folks whom park illegally are not going to participate in a group social foreum. Should you be reading this wonderful! PTO well I suppose they are trying...Now stop typing and physically participate, or perhaps just smile and nod. Thank you JAG staff/ students/and parents Mother of two fantastic people,"

"My daughter has been attending this school for 4 years now. As a fifth grader, she is doing well in school. I have showed and consistently talk to my child about how hard working will get her into her dream university. As a parent, I chose to volunteer one full day at school, and I see how what the teachers have done for the children. As many parents don't know, this school is made up of many ivy league teachers. Ranging from, Columbia, Yale, Cornell, UCLA, Harvard and more. Plus this school has Smart boards equipped in every class, and lap tops, and 6 desk tops available in every classroom, this is like a dream school for many. The teachers works together as a team to educate the children in this school. The last years, I have had the honor to serve some wonderful teachers, and learned how they truly care for their students. This school might not be in the best district, but it is a school where teacher really teaches. Parents, I just want to note, that in a good school there are bad teachers, and in a bad school there are good teachers. Most important is how we raise our kids to challenge themselves, and how to make a difference in the environment they are in."

"I would have to agree with the last post. I also went to Alvin Dunn, Paloma and San Marcos Middle, and San Marcos High School. SMUSD is an excellent district with excellent administration and teaching staff. My son is in kindergarten and is excelling dramatically past others his age. His teacher is excellent and the facilities are world class. Not only is the school new, but it is thoroughly maintained at all times. With recent flu epedemics, I see teachers who utilize hand sanitizer for all of their students. My son also goes to the after school KOC program where I know the sanitize all of the games, tables, chairs and commons areas with Lysol other disinfectants. The front office staff is great! The receptionist is the same lady from when I attended Alvin Dunn almost 20 years ago and she recognized me, my name, and my parents names as well!"
